I believe that because Gabby paved the way, Simone’s road to victory was just a little less difficult. Gabby dealt with the brunt of the racially based criticism 4 years ago and although I bet that isn’t completely gone away (Italy), it seems better. Finally, all you haters can $#*& off. When have you experienced or…

Best. News. Ever.

Not only that, but at one point the NFL wanted performers to pay for the privilege of performing! Which, considering how much revenue the NFL generates is fucking ridiculous.

I mean, come on, that show is not about music.

Side note, I went to her show on Friday and it was INCREDIBLEEEEEEEE. I love her.

Good. Superbowl performers don’t get paid. I wouldn’t put on a free show for a shady miserable corporation worth billions either. Wish more people would stop supporting their bullshit.

Yeiiii womenz don’t like sportz

Everybody watches the super bowl. It just not bros.

Rihanna is so breathtakingly gorgeous. Her candid Snaps are mesmerizing. The past two days of her Snaps have been a fun look into tour life.

A million stars for you. I love RihRih!

Who in their right mind breeds with Chris Brown?!

Justin should just do like Rihanna does and go on a block/unfollow spree when fans get out of hand, thinking they can dictate her life and the people in it.

who in their right mind want to give kid to Chris Brown???

What do we have to do to get “Biebs” to take his whole life private?

To be fair, that is an unavoidable consequence of people expecting “free” newspaper content. Ad revenue is the only think keeping them afloat.

The funny thing is, if they did write the headline with organic search in mind....the SJ Mercury News was in the lucky position to really capitalize on people most likely to click through to their article if they’d focused on Simone Manuel.

I don’t believe for one second they don’t realize how historic this is, and that their ignorant headline was unintentional.

it was only a couple of years ago that an italian coach, in trying to downplay the racist remarks of one of his gymnasts about the blackness of the winners, went on to put his foot in his mouth by bringing up how blacks cannot swim because they have no buoyancy. actually a majority of blacks can’t swim simply because…

As others have noted, this headline was almost certainly constructed this way to improve its SEO scoring. People searching on “Michael Phelps” would see this in their search results, which would drive more readers. Fewer people would be searching on “Simone Manuel” (remember, NBC didn’t even show her medal…

Thank you! Shit just replace African American with black and you should be able to see how completely inappropriate the construction is.
